New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban is stepping down Thursday, multiple sources with knowledge of the decision tell CNN, marking the first high-profile departure from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration since the start of four separate federal investigations into his office and the NYPD.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he had accepted the resignation of the city's police commissioner, Edward Caban.

Caban has been embroiled in one of several federal investigations that have swirled around the administration of Mayor Eric Adams.
